First Homeowners Grant

---

The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) is a government initiative to help first homebuyers into the property market. It’s a genuine, one off grant. Each state manages their own First Homeowners Grant; however there are a number of criteria that you must meet Australia-wide to be eligible. You may qualify for the First Home Owners Grant if you: 

• Are 18 years or over.
• Are an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
• Are intending to live in the home for a continuous period of at least six months within 12 months of settlement.
• Have never owned a residential property in any state or territory in Australia.
• Have never received a First Home Buyers Grant from any State or Territory of Australia.
